I launched my Limona kit on my website today and whilst there were over 20 colour combinations they've been selling fast and I have just 9 left so if you want one be sure to snap it up soon!

This stunning kit contains all you need to learn how to bezel some glorious Swarovski crystals using CRAW with 2mm Swarovski pearls & Japanese seed beads.

These bezelled crystals are then turned into a bracket, earrings & pendant so a lovely full jewellery set.

I sent out a newsletter today and here are the links which were in it:

There are so many things to see on the internet, or in the beading world, but here are some which have caught my eye recently:

• ThreadABead have a great free pattern to bead a Dr or Nurse (check out their other patterns & kits also as they have some absolutely amazing things!)
• Joyce Scott is a wonderful artist who uses beads as her medium and you can watch an online interview with her and also search the rest of the MAD Museum website for lots about artists who use beads in their work (you can even find me on there...)
• The Cooper Hewitt Museum in New York is one of my favourite places in the world and their website is full of amazing things such as these online exhibitions 'In search of the seed beads' , 'The craft of accessorizing for Chhau dancers', 'Beadwork from Southern Africa', 'The birds and the beads', 'How African beadwork changed the world' and 'Nigerian bracelets and bangles'.
  You can also find over 10,000 photos involving beads if you search for beads on their website
• The Royal Albert Hall are showing lots of musical performances on their website which you can enjoy at home for free

This last item is a personal favourite of mine as I love this series of films and will definitely be rewatching them all now they're online:
Diana Friedberg has made a series of 5 'World on a string' films all about beads and their history and use.
She has kindly made them all available to watch online and you can find them here:

• Part One - THE ETERNAL BEAD
• Part Two - THE TINY MIGHTY BEAD
• Part Three - THE SACRED BEAD
• Part Four - THE TREASURED BEAD
• Part Five - A PASSION FOR BEADS
